Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) oxidase is a major source of the superoxide anion that contributes to decreased nitric oxide bioavailability in the vasculature. The C242T polymorphism of the CYBA gene that encodes p22phox, a component of NADPH oxidase, has been found to modulate superoxide production. We examined the relationship of the C242T polymorphism with endothelial-dependent...
